[@Zimak0v]

Very humble and inspiring to know that solos were written on that amp. I had a Peavey 212 Transformer and it was fucking sick. I regret selling it.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

I started playing in 1985 when i was 12 years old. In the 39 years since i have owned virtually every Transtube Peavey amp ever released. From the original Bandit to the Backstage and even the Rage they are the sound of my entire childhood. I have a 6505+ 112 combo sitting not 6 feet from me as I type this and it represents the culmination of a loooong line of amps throughout the decades. I look at that amp and see my first pawnshop Bandit that went through jr. high and high school with me. Those were such wonderful times.

[@geoffreymatheson9206]

My first "real amp" was a Bandit, mine was a red stripe version. That thing was in another universe compared to my Marshall MG10 practice amp that couldn't keep up with my friend's drumkit. Insane how good Peavey managed to get those amps sounding. When I moved out my Bandit spent a few years in my parents' garage and recently I got it back to sell it and it still worked flawlessly. The guy I sold it to got a whole lot of amp for $75. I've got the EVH 5150 Iconic 15w combo beside me now.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

@@geoffreymatheson9206 I use an Iconic halfstack in my band for live shows. I use the 6505+ for practices. I remember when I got that first Bandit my mom was soon rethinking the decision to buy it for me. 🤣 I warned her it was no joke but she learned the hard way.

[@thelonelyhesychast]

I can’t tell you how inspired I was as a teen in high school seeing you work out your solos on that practice amp in “The Making of ‘The Impossibly Of Reason’ Studio Update 2” video you had on Roadrunner’s website that I did the same for hours on end struggling to figure out how to shed for 20 years Now I not only got it ( and can fly with the fastest of them now, not that speed matters ), but I got it in a matter of weeks after seeing you start this channel with something perceived as “a bad habit” to some that you do while playing riffs lol Thanks Rob, hope we can jam some day

[@EclipseAtDusk]

One thing I have noticed with the rage is that you can scoop the mids more than you can Normally get away with, and that’s when it REALLY comes to life

[@tomwahl7838]

They sound good together.

[@ancientalien815]

Yes!!!! We need more fun stuff like this!!!!

[@JK-ux8if]

Never had a Rage, but I did have a Bandit back in the day. Nothing beats old school Peavey solid state when it comes to practice amps.

[@geraldrauch1701]

I started on a backstage plus...graduated to renown 400...then onto the ultra 120...things have changed since then...currently sporting a mesa mark IV, a badlander 50W, and a engl fireball 100...peavey was very cost friendly back in the day and all us young players from the mid 80's into the early 90's had one...oh, the memories...cheers all!!!

[@davepaulson287]

Not sure if you're a fan of Carcass, but on the heartwork album, they used a small marshall practice amp to put a little high end into the tone. I'd love to see you record a riff of those two combined to see what you get. Hope all is well! I see you already did that at the end. Pretty cool!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I am a big fan of Heartwork, and did not know that! 🤘

[@Grumpyseabee22]

This reminds me of Merciful Fate’s Don’t Break the Oath album sound. You could clearly tell one guitar from the other throughout the album. Very cool effect!

[@nfg_coyote4615]

Loving the content Rob!!

[@dissonant_a]

Those Peavey practice amps go hard! My first amp was a Peavey Rage 158… absolutely loved that thing.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I've got a Rage 158 as well! 🤘

[@clemency_music]

I've had the Peavey Studio Chorus 210 for almost 30 years now (Along with my modified Peavey Raptor). Needs some work since I put it through some stuff in my old band 20+ years ago 😄BUT! It still works!

[@fretfingers]

Try both amps through the same 4x12 cab!!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I don't think it could power a 4x12!

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

@@RobArnoldWorld try a quality speaker in a 1x12 maybe?

[@wootks]

@@RobArnoldWorld It for sure can. I have powered cabs with a 1w. Wont be as loud though. Prob not worth the effort though if you have to change up the wiring a bit to make it happen. Enjoyed the vid!

[@leftofzeroofficial]

That rage probably won't power it enough to be heard anywhere but a bandit definitely will. I used my bandit into a Laney 412 for years. Sounded HUGE

[@wootks]

@@leftofzeroofficial agree the Rage won’t work in a band context. The Bandit is such a great amp when hooked up to a cab!

[@IAmHappyToBe33]

Had a Peavey Vypyr 30 about 10 years ago. Loved it and still regret selling it. Awesome stuff for sure. Especially the XXX emulation for gainy tones. Clear and articulate. Not definition was superb on it. Thanks for this nostalgic vid, Rob! I appreciate everything you share with us. best of luck, brother, and God bless your ways.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

👊

[@gigaphonicon]

My first Amp wad a rage 158... man that takes me back. Great memories.

[@sillyness3456]

The Rage as a blend amp would be awesome. Little info dump: 120W is the output power, 400W is the maximum power draw.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Appreciate the info!

[@youknowimright.3137]

That little amp was my first amp ever. Was inherited from my dad who had it in the early 80s. Same kind.

[@TriLaserArt]

Had a Peavey Bandit back in the 90s. Loved that thing! 🤘

[@MrBlooddrunkcobhc]

Little guy would be killer for old school black metal.

[@Mythansar]

Bandit 112 there! But I'll upgrade this one to a Katana Artist I think! And one day... I shall get the big guy! Excellent video Rob, as always! Keep it up!🙂

[@Antisocial88]

I remember the "Dehumanizing Process" DVD. I bought that one. That was an awesome DVD.

[@619dar]

Got to say that I'm a fan of small amps. My first amp was only 10 watts and had only a clean sound. But one day when no one was in my home I turned it full and found out that it had distortion built in and I had a lot of fun.

[@ZacharyMoonshine]

With both at the same time sounds perfect!

[@21stCenturySin]

Haha. How about the Peavey Bandit? That was a classic too. My first bass amp was the Peavey Basic 40. I also used that Whirlwind Selector in the 90s with my Hartke bass rig to switch to silent tuning channel. It seemed to work correctly for that, didn’t have any issues.

[@karlsracing8422]

That was my first amp!

[@wheresallthezombies]

The little guy was actually pretty cool sounding. I imagine with some kind of boost in front and a EQ pedal it’d be neat. I really liked them both being on. Ha. Maybe not as a stereo setup but as a layered sound.

[@wootks]

I agree they sounded rad with both going at the same time.

[@Hadouken5150]

I know you’ve always played Peavey 5150/5150II. I have one and love it as well… but you really should try out an EVH 5150 on the channel. And that Peavey Rage would probably sound pretty good with a clean boost or eq in front to cut the muddy lows. I put a boost in front of nearly every high gain amp I’ve ever played.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

Oooooo this’ll be so fun to watch later! I’m using a wet/dry/wet rig at home, made of two Rage 158s and a Silver Sheffield Bandit - it’s SO fun

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice!

[@WillTaig]

i love when you pan them both together ....sounds pretty dirty comming out my monitors!...best of both worlds

[@mikaelvuorinen3143]

The big sound so AWSOME

Hey Rob, could you do some more Guitar Cabinet Comparison Tests in the future. For example Mesa 4X12 vs Peavey Invective vs ??? 4x12. PS I love your guitar channel! Rock on 🤘

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey thanks dude! Unfortunately I no longer have any Mesa cabs. I do have quite a few others though... I'll see what I can do!

[@Acd81]

Sweet dude!

[@BeardyGit89]

Seeing your face has just reminded me I had a dream last night that I finally got to see Chimaira live again. Except you had 3 guitarists, and I kept having to wrestle with the sound guy to turn the volume up cos it was so quiet 😂

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Haha, before DeVries joined the band, we toyed around with the idea of bringing him on as a third guitarist alongside Hager and I!

[@theuniverseinstereo3453]

Sounds best and dopest with both on

[@Sybex82]

Nice gear man love Peavey in combo with Jackson 👌🏾 but i like both and yes the big one has more bigger tone and setups i think, and the small one sounds good for that compacte and is good for home practice 🤘🏾

[@bassgoul]

Those little peavey amps are the most brutal practices ever

[@Hadouken5150]

I disagree. Maybe for the day and the money. But the Boss Katana kills. Add a boost and you got the perfect practice setup for less than $400.

[@bassgoul]

There is something to be said for simplicity. These amps you just plug in and gain up and rip. Sometimes overcomplicated amps mess with the actual practicing ​@@Hadouken5150

[@mark8380]

Man, i do want maybe change amps someday. That 6505 sounds awesome.

[@samfromsalem]

I have the 6505MH and it has adjustable power so you can retain gain saturation at lower volume. My first amp was a Peavey Rage 158. I assume it was 15 watts vs 10.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I've still got a Rage 158 as well!

[@natebeatyguitar]

the Rage has some real 90s hc demo vibes haha

[@spongebob6664]

I ended up getting the peavey rage a few years ago for free on the Facebook marketplace it had noisy pots so I sprayed them out with cleaner and the amp sounds really good. Comparable to the peavey special 2x12 that I also own

[@philzyqotsa]

Smaller dude Mid city! both are good!

[@Ortizjan2227]

i always wanted to try a bandit

[@michaelrichardson8343]

Oh man! I remember playing through one of those back in the day. We all thought we were Paul Gilbert! 😂

[@boyle585]

Love your videos Rob, any chance of chimaira uk dates this year or next?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nothing on the schedule unfortunately.

[@darklight4815]

I cut my teeth on Rage 108s ...i had 3 at one point,and somehow had all 3 hooked together for a time😂 great memories of that amp

[@zigzagrz]

Have you tried hooking up the smaller peavey into that 412?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

No I don't think it could power 4x12 speakers properly.

[@zigzagrz]

@@RobArnoldWorldehat impedance is the combo? You should still be able to even if its a 412.

[@bjstein4242]

Very cool that you kept that first amp.. my first other than playing through my stereo in college was an 1984 Marshall Lead 12.. didnt have enough gain so you had to use a compressor and hit the front with a boss EQ pedal for boost.. (i guess the tube screamer was not considered then??).. of well.. my next amp before i left college was a 1970 200 watt Marshall Major that was purchased from a bass player/bouncer at a local R&R bar I frequented for $ 150.. good deal i would say even i did not pick up a 412 for a few years later and then had it modded to a super lead.. thing crushes skulls.. lol.. also kept my first real guitar.. a used ESP Mirage Custom from 1989.. found in in the newspaper.. custom order with shark fin inlays and all.. guy wanted a Les Paul and didnt bond with the pointy guitars.. his loss.. my gain.. still one of the best guitars i own.. huge sounding neck through with ebony fingerboard .. lucky to be able to hold on to things in life..

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Dude that's awesome about your '89 Mirage! And haha about playing through a stereo! I've done it too! Sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do!

[@bjstein4242]

@@RobArnoldWorld definitely..gotta do.. those old school Mirage Customs were fantastic.. too bad they got pricey..EMG's really bring that guitar to life..

[@TheFoyer13]

I sold my marshall half stack since it was just too much for messing around by myself. Got a 212, but it collects dust because now I just plug into the audio interface and turn on some bogren digital ampknob plugins. Through headphones or monitors it sounds awesome.

[@rf-lf2wj]

You still own your 1st amp?Awesome

[@Gothguitarist]

I remember I had a Marshall mg series older ones and I sold it to buy the peavey rage amps those peavey always had decent gain later on I modded it to run to a cab and it sounded massive

peavey rage and a fame hondo,, was my first setup, first pedal... boss turbo drive

Cool comparison! What if you ran the output from the practice amp to a decent 12” speaker cab?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

If I had one, I'd definitely give it a try!

[@bbdill]

That was my second amp if you count the cheap 2 watt Harmony that came with my cheap Harmony guitar. The exact same model. Rage 108. It did it's job.

[@bbdill]

I used to scoop the hell out of the mids. Same year too 1989. Playing Master, Justice, Fabulous Disaster, and Practice What You Preach riffs.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Harmony! I remember those from the JCPenny catalogs!

[@brettbunke9096]

[@benpotter4905]

Rob. If you had to pick between the Jackson SL2MG ( the one you were playing in the video) and a Ltd Black Metal what would you choose? I love the neck on the Jackson but not enough patience on saving the money it will take to purchase such guitar!!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hmm... I'd have to play them back to back to give an honest answer! I haven't played the black metal yet. But ultimately, I'd take either of them any day of the week!🎸

[@Orkenflock]

Cool video , however It would be fairer if you try both on the same cab or with the same IR, as 85% of the tone, it's the cab section

[@briannelson8373]

Dude, I still have my Rage 108! Got it with my first guitar, a Washburn G-4 when I was 16. The SuperSat distortion is comically bad, I always used pedals.

[@steveroberts4040]

If only you could fit a 12" Celestion in the practice amp. It would be cool to hear them both through the same speakers.

[@craigb834]

I notice a "Metallic" sound in some of your riffs. I get that alot in my Jackson SL3X with a Dimebucker in it. Do you think that is tremolo spring noise? It shows up after quick start stop riffs when the noise gate clamps down. Very strange and I only notice it on that guitar.

[@craigb834]

I notice it around 5:03 and beyond in that section.

[@craigb834]

Through both amps

[@RobArnoldWorld]

It's definitely resonance from the tremolo springs!

I went to a little show recently and someone had a practice amp up there, but with a good p.a.😂his tone was great. I was shocked. But they weren't playing metal so he didn't have to get way over the other instruments.
